had become insane, and whom the
party were trying to dislodge from his
cabin. Wilson fred through a hole in
the door, through which his only COM
panion, cat, would pass in and ont.
Sheriff Thebault was apprised Of
Wilson's deed, and finding that it was
impossible to secure the lunatic, he
yesterday visited the plantation, ac.
companied by George Osmond, for
the purpose Of arresting Wilson. 1t
was found necessary TO set fire to the
cabin TO get Wilson out. just as the
torch had been applied Mr., Osmond
stepped out from his place Of conceal,

from the cabin, and Osmond fell, .

neck and side, fred by Wilson from his

was carried to a house near by and
medical aid summoned and everything
done to alleviate his suffering, He

When the flames wrapped the cabin,
the madman, Wilson, broke open the
door and came out with a shotgun,
He was ordered to halt by Sheriff
Thebault, but assumed threatened

The effect of bringing him to a halt,
when he fired again, killing Wilson
instantly, the ball taking effect in the
right side and passing through his

George Osmond was about thirty
two years of age, native Of England,
and has been in this city about eight
years. He was q printer and worked
in several printing offices in the city,
and finally secured a position on the

was started he was one Of the owners.
Strange to say, two of them are dead,
and the third, Judge Bossier, retired
from the paper last week. When the
unfortunate and tragic killing Of Rob
ert Brewster took place in the Mascot
Office, Osmond, who then had for some
time contemplated retiring from the
paper, sold out his interest, married
and went to st. Bernard parish, where
he met with a hearty reception from

OUR DOLLAR.

There is now in circulation, out of g
! total silver representation of 1929, ,762, ,03G
in standard dollars and silver certificates.
! $3.50, 100000. If this amount should be
suddenly withdrawn from circulation, a
| financial panic would at once result. The
gold dollar, the gold-bug's god and the
only obstacle which stands in the way OF
alleged national financial collapse, would
be powerless to prevent. the panic re-
sultant from the withdrawal of the silver
dollar, and its representative, the silver
certificate. Passing strange indeed is it
that the dsipised silver dollar of the West
should hold in its compass the fate of
the lordly eastern dollar of gold. Even
the FURNISHED golden ingots piled
high in the National Treasury vaults
would be OF no avail in saw
ing the credit of the boasted golden dol
lar, and averting the monied fright which
would follow fast and faster upon the dis
appearance of the silver money of the
people. We say the golden ingots piled
high in the National Treasury vaults, be-
cause it is another singular fact that
there is comparatively more gold in the
Treasury to-day than there is of silver,
in spite of the goldbug cry that
the Nation will have none of
silver, and that the only use it can be
put to is its boarding in the National
Treasury. The truth is that silver is the
money of the people. 1t represents the
popular needs and voice in the finances
of the country as Democracy represents
those needs and that voice in politics.
The gold-bugs are as much afraid of the
peoples money as the Republican
party is afraid OF the popular
voice. AS Republican principles
are Capitalization in national poll
tics so are gold methods centraliza-
ton in national finances. The one is as
much frightened at the thought of free
coinage as the other is afraid of free ex-
preston of popular opinion. The bankers
strive to hold the financial condition of
the nation in the hollow of their hand
through the medium OF gold, and the Re-
publican party seeks to control the
-destinies of the nation through the power
of the few. The bankers of the
east must levy an increasing and
ever-increasing tribute on the Nation, |
and the concentrated power of Republi-
canism must possess the Nation itself.
But the gold imposition is as hopeless as
is the Republican usurpation. The popu-
lar voice has decreed, in tones already
ringing through the length and breadth
of the land, the downfall of centralized |
political power The next thing in order
will be the dethronement of the gold |
kings. The latter may not come for
a few years yet, but it is natural Sc
quence of the former, and come it must. /
With Democracy inscribed upon their
banners, the people will rule, and silver
is the peoples money. J

FABLE NO. 3.

The Mormon Tiger who, in days gone
by, lived and ruled in the country called
Utah, was born far to the east of the land
where he was destined to run his course
of power, blood and lust. From his birth
he was treacherous and ferocious. His
instinct was to devour, and he came
into the world with visions of blood.
While the Tiger was yet a whelp,
he so plainly showed that the char
acteristics mentioned were as natural
to him as his stripes, that he was driven
out by the people of the land to the east
that had been cursed with his birth.
Following the instincts of his nature he
fled far into the western desert, and there,
freed from the restraints of humanity, he
made his lair. His predatory nature at
once asserted itself, and as active and
as he was treacherous and cunning, the
Mormon Tiger preyed on the sur
rounding communities until he had
established a kingdom of his own,
and reigned in the midst of blood
and beastly lust. For many years the
Tiger thus ruled, protected by the remote
ness of his position and the cunning of
his nature. But the time came at last
when the mask was stripped from the
grim iniquity, and the nations of the
earth recognized the accursed thing in
their midst Westward the Star of EN-

SALT LAKES BOOM.

That Salt Lake City is on the eve of a
veritable business boom is beyond doubt.
The fact is certain. The building boom
which has SO lately largely increased
Eastern cities, jumped to Kansas City,
and travelled thence to Denver, is now
here. Within the past two weeks
more building contracts have been let
in Salt Lake City than for the
entire previous year. The Colorado
Midland Railroad is steadily moving in
the direction of Salt Lake, and from the
Utah border the Utah Midland will
bring the line into this city. Salt Lake
is destined to be the greatest city be-
tween ST. Louis and San Francisco. She
has all the natural advantages for a
great metropolis. The agricultural re-
gion surrounding her is broad
in acreage and fertile in character.
Her tributary mines are numerous, and
of inexhaustible value. Her climate is
not to be surpassed, and fosters produc-
tions of almost tropical growth. These
varied natural advantages must attract
migration and capital and make Salt
Lake the centre of business radiations of
vast and ingrossing scope. Salt Lake
demands additional capital and business
men by natural right. In the very
nature of things the demand will be
filled, and that speedily. This means
more than appears on the surface at a
casual glance. A deeper insight reveals
the fact that herein lies the true solution
of the Mormon problem. Every dollar
of Gentle capital, and every additional
Gentle presence veakens just so mnch
the Mormon power The neces-
sary amount of Gentle capital
and the coming of the needed number of
Gentle emigrants means the total over
throw of the Mormon rule. Once freed
from this incubus the great future of
both Salt Lake and Utah is assured,
and this assurance immigration and cap
ital can give themselves.

pire took its way, and all OF the horror
and turpitude of the kingdom OF
the Mormon Tiger stood revealed.
But even then, such was the Tigers
cunning, and so well had he built the
fabric of this evil power, that the up
roofing of the thing of lust and blood
proved a herculean task. The tiger
boldly defied the Nations, and for long
time made that defiance good. Certain
philanthropists and humanitarians OF the
East espoused his cause, and the cry,
"Persecute not the Tiger" was raised.
Encouraged, the Tiger defended him
self after the manner of his kind, and
the blood of the innocent and the help
less glutted his NAV. But he over
reached himself, and the blood he spilled
cried aloud. The nations of the earth
hearkened to the cry, and the savage de-
stroyer was muzzled. But he was still
powerful, and his influence was dark
cloud upon the land. 1t was apparent
that nothing but the destruction OF the
Tiger would be vindication of the cause
of humanity, justice and progress.
Accordingly, the case OF the Nor
mon Tiger was brought before
abe rulers and elders of the
great nation within whose limits
he had so impudently set up his king
dom, and in the name of the people
Judgment was asked. The rulers and
elders hearkened to the voice of the peo-
pie, and the doom of the Tiger seemed
sealed. But then there arose in the
midst of the rulers patriarch called Ed
munds, one of the elders of those known
as Republicans. And this patriarch
spoke, saying, go, Elders and Rulers,
Beware what you do. Wherefore
should we slay this Tiger? He is a
Tiger, it is true, and fierce and
beastly, but he is mighty, and has shekels
of gold and of silver. He has gathered
unto himself much authority, and has
centralized greatly. 1t becomes not,
therefore, Republicanism to slay him
him outright. Let us, therefore, o Rulers
and Elders, go slow and investigate.
this Tiger has moral nature.
Should this Tiger have no moral nature,
let us appeal to it, anyhow. From a
standpoint it is an expert
ment worth trying, and one of the
kind in which Republicanism has had
much experience" And the patriarch
called Edmunds, stroked the gray hairs
that thatched green wit, smiled
and sat down. And instantly
there arose amid the retainers of the
patriarch Edmunds a great clamor, and
"the moral nature of the Tiger" was the
burden thereof. And so the moral ma
ture of the Tiger was sought after, and
the Tiger was bound with an oath. And
the Tiger purred a pur long and loud
after the way of his manner and
kind, and Rugged himself, and laughed
aloud, and his cruel teeth were again un-
covered. He waited yet few days, and
when the time came he bolted the oath
the patriarch Edmunds had creased for
him, and it disagreed not with the Tiger.
And the battle with the Tiger was re-
newed, and the people suffered greatly
before he was finally overcome. Moral
Believe not in the moral nature OF a
Tiger, and beware OF Republican
patriarchs.

ST. PATRICK'S DAY.

This is ST. Patrick's Day. No day in
the year is looked for more eagerly in all
quarters of the globe than this, and no
day has greater or more enthusiastic
need OF honor paid it. Ireland's gallant
and loyal sons are found everywhere,
and when did one of them ever fail in
celebrating the day of Green Erin's
patron Saint. ST. Patrick's Day in
America has special significance.
Here on the free soil of the Great Re-
public where so many of Ireland's sons
have found refuge from England's
tyranny and made new and happy
homes beneath the protecting shade of
Liberty's tree, ST. Patrick's Day has be-
come almost a national institution.
With its coming, every Irish-Ameri-
can is deeply moved, and the
hearts of their fellow Americans
beat responsive to the chord in the exile's
breast which vibrates to the memories of
the old and happy home in the Green
Island across the seas. st. Patrick is now
rendering greater service than ever to
his children. His day is a potent factor
in Irish patriotism. With its happy men,
cries comes also the remembrance of the
wrongs of the Irish race, and annually
before st. Patrick's shrine are offered
anew the vows which dedicate the Irish
man in every cline to the recovery of his
fatherland. st. Patrick's Day forever!
and may all Irishmen beneath Heavens
sun, at last celebrate it together on their
own green sod.
